Part 2 Longling Maze Chapter 16 Underground Shrine


At this time, it seemed that half of the cave was on fire, and there was a crackling sound in the raging fire.

Only then did I see clearly that the triangular cave was an artificial building, made entirely of wood, maybe for To keep the wood strong, mix turpentine, butter, etc. and apply it to the wood.

This wooden building is about the size of seven or eight private houses.

I don’t know what it was built here for.

Surrounding the wooden building are corpses that have been sucked dry by black cockroaches.

There are human corpses and various animals.

Yes, all the water in the body has been sucked out by the black cockroaches, which is equivalent to dehydrating the corpse.

Although the corpses were wrapped in black spider silk, they could still see the miserable state of being slowly tortured to death, and their faces all maintained painful and twisted expressions.

As the wood burned and collapsed, three huge fireballs were seen twisting and struggling in the fire scene.

After a while, they slowly stopped moving.

It was unknown whether they were burned to death or were killed by the falling wood and rocks, and gradually turned into charcoal.

Fatty Dajinya and I were so frightened that we wanted to run far away, but our feet refused to obey, so we had to sit down on the spot.

Seeing this fire, everyone couldn't help but look at each other with shame.

Where is this building made of big wood and big rocks?

Why did the black beast consider this place as his lair?

The fat man suddenly pointed to the fire and said to me and Da Jinya: "Old Hu, Lao Jin, look at that, you two, there is a human face."

Da Jinya and I looked where the fat man said, and sure enough, a huge human face appeared in the fire.

It was several times larger than the human face formed by the pattern on the back of the black turtle, and even bigger than the stone.

Carved human face on the coffin.

The face in the fire was illuminated by the firelight, adding a bit of mystery to its already grotesque expression.

This giant face was located in the center of the building.

As the surrounding areas were burned and collapsed, it emerged from it.

It turned out to be a huge A bronze tripod with a strange human face cast on it.

The fat man asked me: "Old Hu, is this also part of the ghost tomb of Donkey Day?"

I shook my head and said to the fat man: "Probably not.

It may be that ancient people worshiped these cruel black-faced turtles as the incarnation of gods, and specially built such a temple in their lair.

Come and worship.

At that time, people were treated as human beings, so many slaves were sacrificed.

Today, we destroyed their lair, which can be regarded as justice for heaven."

The ghost tomb from the Western Zhou Dynasty is probably somehow related to the altar with the human-faced cauldron.

It is possible that after the ancient tomb in the Western Zhou Dynasty was destroyed, it was preserved because it was located deep in the cave and was extremely hidden.

But these things have become the dust of history.

I am afraid only those who study the history of the Western Zhou Dynasty know something about it.

I said to the fat man: "Let's not discuss these useless things now.

Are you injured?

Let's pick up the big gold tooth on our backs and leave here as soon as possible.

There may be black cockroaches that are still alive.

If an attack comes, let's do it now."

All I have left is my underpants, so I can’t deal with it at all.”

The fat man said: "It would be a pity to leave now.

When the fire is out, we will find a way to get the bronze tripod out.

If this thing can be moved back to Beijing, it will probably be replaced by several buildings."

After that, he pushed the big gold tooth again. : "Lao Jin, how are you recovering?"

Big Gold Tooth was startled and frightened, and was knocked several times by rocks.

He stared at the fire in a daze, and was pushed twice by the fat man before he came back to his senses and said: "Ah, Fatty, Mr.

Hu, we three brothers didn't expect it."

We meet again in the underworld.

Where is this place?

Have we crossed the Naihe Bridge now?"

The fat man said to Big Gold Tooth: "You are confused and you are not dead yet.

If you don't die, you will continue to suffer.

But let me tell you good news.

We have made a fortune.

There is a bronze human-faced tripod in the temple in front.

Oh, this Is the thing burnt?"

After saying that, he stood up and wanted to go closer and have a look.

I lay on the ground and shouted to the fat man: "I asked you to stop for a while.

Now I don't even have any clothes.

I am naked and still thinking about the pile of scrap metal."

The fat man's eyes were shining and he turned a deaf ear to my words, but the fire was so strong that after taking a few steps forward, he couldn't stand the scorching breath, so he had to step back and stepped on a dead body that had been sucked by black cockroaches.

On the body, his footing was unstable, he fell down and fell on the mummy.

The mummy had been dead for who knows how long.

It had a big black mouth open, and there were only two black holes where the eyes were.

The fat man threw himself on the mummy, just face to face with the mummy.

Even though he was brave, he was very frightened. , shouted, put his hands on the mummy, and tried to struggle to get up.

The fat man hurriedly tried to push the mummy away, but inadvertently pulled something off the neck of the mummy.

The fat man felt something was in his hand, so he raised it to look at it, and found that the object looked like an animal's paw, shining brightly in the firelight. , dark and transparent, with a circle of gold thread inlaid at the bottom.

The fat man turned his head and said to me: "Old Hu, do you think this is a golden talisman?"

After saying that, he touched the dead man's body again: "Hey, there is another thing here.

Big package of good stuff” As the fat man spoke, he took out a cloth bag from the mummy's arms and shook the contents on the ground to see if there was anything valuable.

Da Jinya fell to the ground, his eyes staring straight, obviously too frightened and had not recovered yet.

My whole body was sore and painful that I almost fell apart.

Although I was worried that there were other giant spiders nearby, I couldn't leave immediately.

When I saw the fat man suddenly found a gold-touching charm from a nearby mummy, I asked him to Throw it over for me to take a look at.

The fat man was busy looking through the things in the mummy's arms, and casually threw the gold-touching talisman in front of me.

I picked it up and took a closer look.

The gold-touching talisman was dark and transparent, shining moistly under the firelight, and the front end was sharp.

The lower end of the talisman is sharp and sharp, and is inlaid with several turns of gold thread to form a "penetrating ground pattern".

The body of the talisman is engraved with two ancient seal characters "touch gold".

When you hold it in your hand, you can feel a slight coolness, which is extremely refreshing.

With texture.

This is definitely a genuine gold-touching talisman.

The sharpest claws of the pangolin are first soaked in wax for 7,749 days, and then buried 100 meters deep in the Dragon Tower underground to borrow the spiritual energy of the earth veins for 800 days. , can it be made into a genuine qualification certificate for the gold captain.

I have only seen one of this kind of real gold-touching charms from Shiry Yang.

Big Gold Tooth once gave me and Fatty two forged ones.

We can compare them with the real ones to tell whether they are real or fake.

This gold-touching talisman was worn by the mummy.

Could it be that he was the senior who built the fish bone temple and robbed the cave?

He must have been trapped in the ghost tomb with no way out, and finally discovered the secret of the live birds.

He wanted to retreat from the thief's cave, but he was ambushed by a black cockroach like us on the way, and he was alone.

Once he was attacked, there was no room for maneuver, and he died tragically here for no reason.

Thinking of this, I felt very sad.

The fat man walked up to me holding a bag of things and said to me: "Old Hu, what are you thinking about?

Look at what these are."

The gadgets are all from the mummy. " I took the things the fat man handed me and looked at them one by one.

This cloth bag is like a treasure bag, full of bits and pieces, including seven or eight candles and two stacked paper lanterns.

These candles are worth ten thousand dollars to us.

We don’t have any lighting tools except a lighter now.

I asked the fat man to put away the candles and paper lanterns.

When we walk out of the cave later, we are counting on these things. .

There are also a few old German dry batteries in the treasure bag, but there is no flashlight; there are also three small red pills.

When I saw these pills, I was shocked.

Could this be the secret medicine prepared by Captain Mojin in the old days?

, take one pill before entering the ancient tomb to fight, it can neutralize the corpse poison in the ancient tomb, but it has no effect on the air that is not circulated all year round.

It can only be used to prevent death when opening coffins to touch gold or in close contact with corpses.

Corpse poison invades the body.

Because ancient times are not like modern times, modern gas masks can also protect the eyes.

However, the protective measures in ancient times are relatively backward.

No matter how tight the mask is, the two eyes must be exposed.

If the coffin is sealed better, the tomb owner When the corpse decomposes in the coffin, the corpse gas remains in the coffin.

This corpse poison travels through the five senses and seven orifices, causing great harm to the human body.

However, it is limited to detoxifying corpse poison.

For other harmful gases other than corpse poison, other methods must be used to deal with it, such as turning on the loudspeaker to ventilate the tomb, detecting the air to let live animals enter the ancient tomb, etc.

However, the principle of this medicine is to turn poison into poison, and it also has a certain degree of toxicity.

If taken for a long time, it will cause osteoporosis.

Although it does not have a great impact on the human body, it is harmful rather than beneficial.

If it is not absolutely necessary, try to use it as much as possible.

Need not.

This red pill is called "Chidan", also known as "Honglian Miaoxin Pill".

The specific raw materials used to prepare it have long been lost.

Some veterans of gold-touching are still accustomed to holding a red box miaoxin pill in their mouths when opening a coffin, and then touch gold.

There are a few things in the treasure bag that I can't name.

In addition, there is a simple compass, which is used for positioning, and a piece of saltpeter.

This kind of thing is also called "ground frost" or "northern frost" in traditional Chinese medicine.

"Di Xuan Zhu", its nature is pungent, bitter, warm and non-toxic.

This is to prevent the poor air quality in the ancient tomb from causing headaches and coma.

In this case, inhaling a little bit of saltpeter into the nasal cavity can relieve the pain, which is similar to the effect of Shiry Yang's alcohol on odor.

I read to the end and found that the treasure bag contained a slender piece of steel wire, a knife more than three inches long, a small bottle of Yunnan Baiyao, a bottle of pills, and one thing I was most familiar with, the treasure bag.

The black donkey's hooves in the middle are followed by a roll of ink thread.

Both the ink thread and the black donkey's hooves are used to deal with the zombies.

The fat man asked me: "How are you, Old Hu?

Are any of these weird things valuable?"

I shook my head and said: "There is nothing valuable, but there are a few things that are of great use.

From this treasure bag, you can recall the demeanor of a gold-touching captain in the past.

This man must be a robber from the Fish Bone Temple."

That senior of ours does the same thing as us and can be considered a fellow disciple, but Xi died miserably here, and I'm afraid he will live for more than thirty years.

Since we have encountered him, don't let him die here again.

You can carry his remains into the fire and burn them.

I hope he survives in heaven.

Spirit, please help us leave this place smoothly, and burn these things with him."

The fat man said: "That's fine, I'll cremate him right now.

But we burned these giant human-faced spiders today to avenge him, so the items in this pocket can be regarded as our gratitude." , maybe take it back to Beijing and sell it for a good price in the antique market.”

I said to the fat man: "It's not impossible to do this.

It's not a valuable thing anyway, especially this gold-touching talisman.

It's invulnerable to water and fire, and it won't melt even if it's burned.

We happen to need this thing too, so you're welcome."

There is really nothing valuable left.

There are a few Red Lian Miaoxin Pills, and they are probably expired.

We have no use at all, so we should let this treasure bag go with its owner. " When the fat man heard that there was nothing valuable, he felt uninterested.

The mummy didn't have much weight left.

The fat man took Captain Jin's treasure bag, held the mummy with his other arm and left.

When he arrived at the burning building Near the temple, Captain Mo Jin's mummy was thrown into the edge of the fire from afar.

I turned my neck and felt that the scratches and bruises on my body were still painful, but my hands and feet could move freely, so I pushed the big gold tooth next to me and asked him how the injury was and whether he could still move around.

The injuries on Dajinya's body were similar to mine, mainly abrasions, and the bump on the head was quite serious.

He nodded half-consciously and half-drowsily, and when he moved his jaw a little, he gasped in pain.

I called the fat man back, and the three of them discussed how to leave the cave.

They were dragged far away by the black beast, twisting and turning, and completely lost their direction.

The locals said that there are all caves under Longling.

However, I looked around and found that the place we were in was not a karst landform, but a mountain cavity with a loess rock structure.

It was relatively dry.

From this point of view, this place is one of the many caves.

A composite landform with mixed geological structure.

Most of the folklore is based on rumors.

People and animals often disappear near here.

It may be related to the lair of the black cockroach.

The missing people and sheep are dragged here and eaten, rather than being trapped to death in a maze-like cave.

We now have no food, no clothes, and no equipment.

One more minute of delay will make it more difficult to get out.

This underground temple houses a huge bronze tripod with a human face.

The tripod was used during the Western Zhou Dynasty to worship ancestors or record important events to inform future generations.

It seems that this underground temple has some connection with the ancient tombs of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

It is possible that the owner of the ancient tombs of the Western Zhou Dynasty worshiped black spiders during his lifetime, so he set up a temple near his tomb to support a nest of giant human-faced spiders. , later his tomb was destroyed, and no one used slaves to feed the nest of black cockroaches.

They hunted on their own and have multiplied to this day.

I don’t know if there are any others besides the few in the temple.

If one or two more come out, it will be enough to kill the three of us.

By this time, the fire had weakened.

Through the light of the fire, we could vaguely see more than a dozen caves all around.

We must choose a way to go, but we didn’t discuss which cave to go out from.

But I think since the black cockroach If you want to go out for food, there must be an exit nearby
